A GROUP of bowlers are celebrating after breaking the world record for non-stop bowling.

Two teams had been playing for 105 hours when they finished at 7pm on Wednesday, October 18.

And to help them along, they had been joined for a stint by Coronation Street's Michael le Vell and ex-Manchester City manager, Tony Book.

Steven Ridley, secretary of the Lloyd's Hotel Bowling Club, who organised the marathon session to raise funds for Christie Hospital and Francis House Children's Hospice, said: "We're very please to have done it and broken the record.

"And when all the money comes in we hope to have raised a few thousand pounds for two very good causes.

He added: "We were absolutely shattered and very sore at the end but it was worth it.

"I couldn't really sleep on Wednesday night because of the adrenaline, but on Thursday, I slept like a baby."
